Why use online video?

Online video is used to:

Investigate

Explore concepts and processes presented within video resources as well as the procedures involved in making them.

Analyse

Examine the structure and textual qualities of the resource, and evaluate alternative perspectives.

Create

Re-use video resources to create a new resource.

This is a simplified version of the Dial-e Framework, which was developed by Jisc to support the use of online video in teaching and learning. The Dial-e Framework website http://misc.jisc.ac.uk/JISC/index.php features useful pedagogical exemplars, technical tutorials and video case studies.
